week 3! week 3! week 3!

Week 3 is almost here and with it brings green things!
Slowly but surely more fresh produce is making an entrance, and with our new vendor this week, Holy Heron Farm, expect to see some delicious arugula!
Polish Deluxe will be back with her fresh baked goodness, W***y is back from the Pec Thing, and Marlene is back from their trip to WI.
Katiana from Northwest Illinois Medical Reserve Corps - Nwilmrc will be joining us, offering information on emergency preparedness and information on the Reserve Corps. We've had the pleasure of having her with us for years, and she is a Community Tent delight for kids and adult alike :)

The weather will be lovely, and stopping by the market is a great way to kick off your Memorial Day Weekend!

First compost collection!!! Come on out to the Stephenson County Farmer's Market to see us(Dinger)! You take a bucket home, fill it up with scraps and we swap you out for a new one.

The chickens love it, we love it and the earth loves it. Check us out.
